Great Works well with multiwindow feature on my note 2 to display speed, course and compass along with reading my wind vane data in the other window. Only issue is altitude is always in meters. No option to set it to feet. Thanks, too, for fixing the font size.

Saildroid Love this app! So easy to use. Only been sailing about a year and I'm able to get all the important info we need faster than my boyfriend can with all the complicated navigation equipment on the boat and he's been sailing for 30 years! Would of loved to have this app on our last trip when we lost all power, inc. the nav equipment. We were sailing totally blind in the dark, trying to navigate back to our marina.

Great app for speed, direction, waypoints I use this when sailing. It would be even better if it could interface with mapping software or sonehow sit transparently over maps. Apart from that, really handy.

Application is used as an additional tool next to standard yacht equipment to take tactical decisions faster.

Sail Racer app suggest the favored end of the start line, monitors your position, time and guides the maneuvers that the start line was hit at the last moment with the best possible speed.

With the app it is easy to navigate in racing area. Interface is designed in a way that course efficiency, the lay lines and shifts could be captured in a splash of a second. Skipper does not need to analyze the numbers and can concentrate on handling the boat, maximizing performance and playing tactical games with competitors.

Every wind gust and lull affect the boat heading and is visualized in a “easy to read” shift bar on the top of compass rose. Course Deviation Indication – bar on the bottom of the compass rose displays long run course deviation between two marks.

Sail Racer is designed and developed by sailors. It has everything to sail on the edge.

The Fast Track app is a powerful tool to help you sail more efficiently and aid in regattas.

Help at http://nautkaapps.wordpress.com

The Fast Track has three main sections. The Dashboard, the Map View, and the Leg Comparison Tool.

Before sailing The Fast Track app, we strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself with the app in the simulation mode, where you will be provided with the necessary buttons to simulate your boat's speed and bearing.

You can easily define navigation waypoints, or import them from a GPX file.

The Fast Track app works as a time to line tool, synchronized with the regattachronometer, keeping you informed with estimated time to the start line. So you can make a perfect start!

When choosing a destination, The Fast track app will automaticallydetermine the theoretical wind of direction as upwind or downwind from your current position. Each time the boat passes through the direction of wind, The Fast Track app will assume the boat's tacking or gybing. And creates a new leg.

You can also specify the wind direction, so this angle will be used to decide when a tack or gybe has occurred. While the deviance keeps referred as the difference between the current boat bearing and the initial bearing to Waypoint.

The Text to Speech functionality can be activated from the preference menu, this enables The Fast track app speak specific navigation information updates, without the need to look at the screen.

Analyze your sailing through useful line charts as Speed, VMG & Deviance evolution.Get full statistics from your sailing track as the Total Distance, Maximum & Average Speed, etc.

Save your navigation to GPX format and analyze it later in your PC, with your favorite GPS software as Google Earth, Garmin Basecamp, etc.GPX file is saved in the folder /sdcard/TheFastTrack/AAAAMMDD_HHMM.gpxwhere:AAAAMMDD is the dateHHMM is the time

- Offline Maps. Now you can cache (store) cartography before sailing and have it available in the middle of the sea without data connection. Based on Open Street Maps (osmdroid project) and the overlays from Open Sea Maps

- Waypoints Name & Location modification

- Proximity alerts to Waypoint

- Route Statistics (Length, Num. Waypoints, etc.)

- Enable/Disable Legs auto - generation

We recommend you to use a bluetooth external GPS antenna to enhance the accuracy of the application and get the better results.

Your comments & reviews are welcome, they help enhance the product visibility and future improvements. Thus, if you like The Fast Track, please rate it in Google Play. If you don't like it please provide some description or email us directly, so we can take it into account to fix it for future releases. If a new release solves some of your previous issues we will really appreciate if you test it again and re-evaluate it.

Record your sailing trips, while you are sailing. You can also add photos and comments to your track while sailing. The app uploads your trip data to your free account at www.keepsailing.net, for you to re-experience the sailing trip whenever you wish. You can also share the sailing trip with friends and family, even live while you are sailing.

Requires a free account at http://www.keepsailing.net.

Navigatta is a sailing navigation application designed for regatta racing.

* Input your course using the waypoints Navigatta already knows about, or add your own waypoints easily.* Tell Navigatta which way round the mark to go, so you can tell the crew at a glance.* View your Distance and Bearing to the Mark, Course over ground, Velocity Made Good and Estimated Time to Mark on a high contrast screen.* Navigatta automatically increments to the next leg when you approach the current mark.* View your course on the map by swiping to the map view in the Race Navigator screen.

We are building up a database of racing waypoints. If you find some that we are missing, please contact us: support@navigatta.com

Luminous Development are a software company focused on user experience. Here are some nice little touches we think you'll appreciate.

When editing a race:* Accidentally added the startline as a race mark? Just move the mark and drag it to the start line section.* Not sure which is the port end and which is the starboard end of the line? Just add the waypoints and Navigatta will figure it out for you based on where the next mark is.

When viewing a race:* Change the Race Navigator between Race List, Mark Information and Map View by swiping the black bar at the bottom.* Tap a mark in the Map View to see its name and rounding details.* You won't accidentally exit the Race Navigator when the app is in your pocket. The Race Navigator requires you to press and hold buttons (long press). Of course, you can change that behaviour in the settings screen.* No need to unlock your device in Race Mode. The Race Navigator sits over the top of your lock screen. * Alternatively, keep the screen on all the time if the device is mounted in the cockpit. Have a look in settings for these options.* Navigatta monitors your race even when the screen is off. As you approach the mark, it will automatically increment to the next mark for you. If you don't pass close enough, you can set the current leg (see next).* Long press a mark in the Race Mark List to set that as the current leg.

Simply select your destination point on the sea map, enter wind direction and wind speed and NaWi will calculate for you how to get there as fast as possible using your sails. It will propose you optimal route (straight or zig-zag) and give you exact time and distance to your destination.

The challenge when sailing to windward is to know how high to point into the wind.

When pointing higher, the boat goes slower, but there is less distance to travel. On the other side, when pointing lower (from the wind), the boat goes faster, but the distance is longer. The trick is to find the optimum angle, that balances speed with distance. And that is what NaWi does for you.

Once the optimal route is calculated it is displayed on the map. With simple dragging of tacking point you can adjust the route (e.g. to avoid collision with dangerous navigation points or visit interesting places). Once you are ok with route, NaWi will navigate you to follow your optimal route.

Navigation screen is designed to provide all essential information in readable form even in hard sailing conditions. The rotating compass over the map shows the optimal course, speed, course value, time to destination and time to tack are also displayed. Everything in one place, but easily visible.

Your optimal route is projected on the Open Sea Maps. These can be downloaded to your device in time when you have Wi-Fi connectivity and then used offline during the sailing.

There are no additional purchases in NaWi and you have full functionality available after download.

NaWi was made by sailors for sailors. We are sailing enthusiasts and we made NaWi first for us to improve our sailing technique. After realizing how beneficially it is we decided to offer it commercially. We believe it will help you sailing faster and plan your trips more precisely.

This app is inspired by the RaceMaster TacTic compass and gives you similar information.

The course over ground and speed is determined by GPS this way taking fx current into consideration.

You can see if you are sailing the best vmg when tacking and when you sail downwind fx in light conditions you also optimize the vmg for getting down to the gate/bottom mark first :)

The display changes color telling you which tack you are on. So green means you are on a starboard tack.

This is only when you are using the app in vmg mode where you have set the course towards the top mark.

Use the app to help you giving you some more information while sailing. Remember that finding the stronger wind and doing the right decisions is more important than looking at instruments.

NOTES: o Can now show speed and track if desired by setting angle to "OFF"o Display can be locked/unlocked by doing a long click on the VMG displayo Upsamling can be enabled to make the display more responsive

Sailtracker is an application that collects NMEA data in real time from network electronics navigating of a boat through 3G/WiFi or Bluetooth, allowing you to record and export the information obtained during the session, the route and the polar.

You can use it in combination or alone with he internal GPS of your Android device to get position, speed and heading instead of using the data from the ship, as proof mechanism, or if you do not have an NMEA data connection onboard .

Sailtracker also allows display NMEA AIS information received by the AIS transceiver of your boat.

Sailtracker includes NMEA depth alarm and anchor, and a countdown timer to output regattas.

Fishing Points is the first fishing GPS navigation app that helps you find your favourite fishing locations, spots in open seas. With built-in navigation system you can save and locate fishing locations, hotspots, waypoints, trotlines and trolling paths. Navigation works in offline mode without maps and in online mode with Google Maps.

This app was built mainly for fishermen, who can't or don't want have internet connection in open seas or lakes. It does not provide full navigation in terms of avoiding shallow waters, coasts, islands or any other obstacles. It was made for use in open seas, where orientation is not possible.

Easily share fishing locations between your fishing friends or other devices with import/export system (kmz files).
